The combined wealth of the world’s richest 85 people is now equivalent to that owned by half of the world’s population – or 3.5 billion of the poorest people – according to a new report from Oxfam.

By the way – Yes. John Carney is a millionaire. $800k in assets and a steady government job puts him over the line, so get over it. What possible incentive could John Carney or any of our elected officials have to give a shit about income distribution when they (and everyone they associate with) is on the winning side of the equation?

I really don’t care how rich 85 people are as long as I get a fair shake at it.
It’s the burgeoning political elite ruling/pseudo royalty class that I’m more worried about.

Why the hell does Chelsea Clinton still make personal appearances with her mother and father like it was still the early 90’s anyway? She’s married and could be having kids of her own for christ sake..
